Scenes near Guiyang
21. Falls from Above A national scenic spot, the falls are on the Baishui River, 15 kilometers from the Zhenning county seat, 137 kilometers from Guiyang, and 45 kilometers from Anshun. The waterfalls are the biggest of their kind in China and also one of the world's most magnificent. The water billows down into the Xiniu (Rhinoceros) Pool, sending up great spray and creating rainbows. Huangguoshu Falls borders Zhennning County and Guanling County. The falls are the largest in Asia, and are 74 meters (242ft) tall and 81 meters (266ft) wide. In the middle of the waterfall is a cave that arches into the cliff side and is curtained by a sheet of water. A path has been cut into the cliff behind the fall which gives you a beautiful view through the cascading water. Hi-Res Pic (273K)⇦ Back to Page 20 On to Page 22 ⇨ Return to Guiyang - Page 3 |
